Hammocks are like tattoos and guns- you can never have too many.

Bacteria may only be simple single cells but many still live highly social lives. As with any busy social life, communication systems are vital for organizing a group. Bacteria communicate via chemical signalling systems collectively referred to as quorum sensing. In a new study published in BMC Systems Biology, Volkhard Helms from the Center for Bioinformatics at Saarland University, Germany and colleagues describe a computational model of the dynamic quorum sensing system of the opportunistic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
P. aeruginosa typically infects immunocompromised patients, using its quorum sensing system to regulate several important processes during infection. This includes the formation of biofilms – communities of microorganisms that adhere to and cover surfaces – and the production of virulence factor molecules that are responsible for many of the symptoms of infection. These functions make quorum sensing systems a promising target for anti-bacterial drugs that could disrupt these lines of communication. It has also been suggested that such drugs may have the advantage over current antibiotics in being less likely to induce drug resistance.
Helms and colleagues use computational modelling to explore what effects inhibitors of various parts of the quorum sensing system would have on the bacteria P. aeruginosa.
Quorum sensing in P. aeruginosa consists of three interconnected systems, organized in a hierarchy. As many of the details of the connections remain unknown the authors use a simplified, rule-based model of these networks to determine the production of molecules used for signalling between cells and virulence factors.
Tests of the model show that despite its relative simplicity it accurately replicates behaviors of the system reported in the literature. However their findings do suggest that the topology of the molecular network as it is currently understood may need to be revised in order to accurately describe the production of virulence factors.
From this model they show that it is possible to test the effects of mutations or inhibitors that affect various components of the molecular networks. The authors find that blocking the synthesis of signalling molecules is most effective in reducing the production of these networks, and that targeting the receptor molecules is key to reducing virulence factors.

Publisher's Description
The annual Demon's Bluff Spirit Fest is coming to town--all hell (and heaven) is about to break loose.
This sleepy desert town is so remote that no one is hassled for believing in God. Not even in 2022, when faith can get a guy arrested--or worse. So it's a perfect hideout for a young Christian with a price on his head.
Except that a hundred years ago, good and evil had a showdown in Demon's Bluff--and it's about to happen again.
Already, dark clouds are gathering in the desert. And a whole town is about to learn what happens when God's people choose to stand and trust instead of run and hide.

VLC RAR-Loader for Mac
editor's review
Small archives can be shared and transferred faster, which is why using the RAR file format to compress movies is quite common. Usually, to play RAR video files you must initially decompress the archives, unless you are using VLC RAR-Loader.
VLC RAR-Loader is a very small application that offers you the possibility to quickly open RAR video files without taking the time to unarchive the data. The installation process is very simple: drag and drop the app to the Applications folder. At the same time, you must make sure that the VLC Media Player is installed on your Mac (you can download it HERE).
To use VLC RAR-Loader simply launch the application, drag and drop the RAR archive on top of the main window (if the action is successful you will view the archive name) and then press the "Play" button. VLC RAR-Loader will launch/relaunch your VLC Media Player and then open the RAR video. The app offers you the possibility to launch the movie in full screen mode.
To open another archive using VLC RAR-Loader, you can press the "Clear" button and then drag and drop a new RAR movie. The app also includes a couple of hotkey combinations: Command +P to play the video and Command+O to load a file or a folder.
In the VLC RAR-Loader Preferences window you can view if the app has detected the VLC Media Player location and you can choose to play the movie instantly, in which case you may also enable the "Droplet auto quit" function.
VLC RAR-Loader is a very easy to use application that offers you the possibility to play RAR movie files without taking the time to decompress the archive. The application is great if you need to deal with large RAR movies.

Criterion Theatre
1514 Broadway,
New York,
21 people favorited this theater
The Criterion Theatre opened September 1936 in the Art Moderne style with 1,700 seats on part of the site of the old Olympia entertainment complex. This originally included Loew's New York Theatre and Roof (Cinematreasures theater #15178), and the earlier Criterion Theatre (Cinematreasures theater #16481) which was built in 1895 as the Lyric Theatre.
All were demolished to make way for the Criterion Theatre, retail stores and the International Casino nightclub. B.S. Moss built the Criterion, but in 1938 leased the theatre to Loew's for 20 years. The first film to open at Loew's Criterion Theatre was MGM's "Spring Madness" on November 30, 1938.
Due to divestment of theatres because of antitrust litigation, in 1949, the Criterion reverted back to B.S. Moss. The last film to be shown by Loew's was "He Walked By Night", which opened on February 5th 1949. During that engagement, Loew's returned management of the Criterion to B.S. Moss who then operated the theatre until the 1980's, when it was leased to United Artists Theatre Circuit.
With "Fort Ti", a Columbia movie that opened on May 29th 1953, the Criterion claimed to be the first theatre in the world to project a 3-D (with glasses) feature on a giant wide screen, with streophonic sound and color by Technicolor.
The Criterion Theatre was host to numerous premieres. After the World Premiere of "The Ten Commandments" on November 8, 1956, that movie was shown (with reserved seats) for 17 months. The US premiere in 70mm of "Lawrence of Arabia" was held on December 15, 1962. World Premieres of other 70mm films included "South Pacific" (March 19, 1958), "My Fair Lady"(October 21, 1964), "Thoroughly Modern Millie"(March 21, 1967), "Funny Girl"(September 19, 1968) and "Patton"(February 5, 1970).
In March 1980, the Criterion Theatre was converted into five screens using some space in the former basement lounge.. Additional seating was added in the front of the former seating area of the balcony so that a new upstairs auditorium had 1,041 seats. The new auditorium in the former orchestra seating area had 1,037 seats, but was later split left/right to create two 400 seat auditoriums. The basement houses seated 156, 198, 193 and 248.
The Criterion Theatre finally closed in the spring of 2000 and was gutted internally to become a massive Toys R Us store. A restaurant occupies the space that held the movie screen and the first rows of the original orchestra seating section.

Rivoli has JAWS summer of 75' strating in June I think the Criterian had Mohogany at the same time…
Great list 56-75…as a kid the only ones I saw here were the road shows Is Paris Burning and Patton…in the refitted multiplex Raging Bull, Sharky's Machine on the small screens, Rambo 3, Garp, Die Hard 2, A Cry in the Dark on the bigger ones
1936 Pic of Criterion added to Photo Section
Happy 50th! "My Fair Lady" had its world premiere at the Criterion on this day in 1964 (and went on to become the theater's longest-running engagement).
To RSM3853…So, "South Pacific" replaced "The Ten Commandments"? In São Paulo, Brazil, South Pacific opened the "Astor" a luxury cinema theater, in 1960….The Ten…was only shown in 1959…remaining for 37 weeks at the cinema "Ipiranga" in downtown, and then many more weeks at other places. In present days, the movies…are released in the same time they open in the USA, in some cases…a few days BEFORE…thank you for your great information.
Why is "THE SEARCH FOR PARADISE" suddenly showing up first on RSM3853's December 27, 2013 at 3:00 pm post instead of "THE TEN COMMANDMENTS". This was never a Cinerama house.
Really….The Ten Commandments opened on Nov 7, 1956, at the Criterion. NY Times published the review the next day. In BRAZIL, where I live, we say the "day" first, then the month…and, of course, last, the year…So – when I read… 11/07/1956 I am "tempted" to look like…11 of July of 1956… I have to make "up my mind" and transport myself to the USA…

I'd like to thank the individual who posted the covers of the souvenir programs of the roadshow attractions that played at The Criterion during its' heyday in the 50s and 60s. Unfortunately I was too young to go Times Square during this era. By the time I was old enough this great prestigious movie house was reduced to showing horror and exploitation films. All the more astonishing because the nearby Loew's State and Astor Plaza were still getting top Hollywood films. I would be curious to know why the management of this beautiful theater couldn't get top product and drove it into the ground. Its multiplexing was horribly done and heartbreaking.

Animated DC Universe cartoon series for a new generation starring ROBIN, AQUALAD, KID FLASH, SUPERBOY, MISS MARTIAN and ARTEMIS . Combined these six teenage heroes are YOUNG JUSTICE the JUSTICE LEAGUE's secret weapon against the forces of evil. Based out of THE CAVE, the teen heroes will take on under-the-radar missions that would be impossible for the League proper (with its incandescent star-power) to handle covertly. In addition, these kids are in constant training to take their place alongside the great heroes. RED TORNADO will be their supervisor; BLACK CANARY will be in charge of their training, and BATMAN will hand out their assignments. And of course, Young Justice will push their missions, often turning a simple assignment from Batman into something much larger, often discovering that what they've been tasked to do is just the tip of the iceberg.

I've just come from a discussion about who is best placed to give estimates on a given piece of work.
At a detailed level I'd always say that the best estimate comes from the person who actually has to do the work as they have the full understanding and this gives them complete buy-in to the , however at a higher level of abstraction (i.e. at overall project level) I'm not so sure.
I'm reminded of chapter 5 in Peopleware which gives the results of an Australian study from 1985 - best link I could find is here.
I'm particularly interested in your focus here - are you answering as a developer, architect, prject manager or whatever?

Ice, Ice Baby. Climbing is a dangerous sport. We go through a lot of ice packs. We now only use reusable ice packs.

The BMC Youth Climbing Series offers fun climbing competitions for young people. The series is extremely popular and attracts hundreds of entrants across the country.
There are three regional rounds in each of the BMC Areas throughout Britain, Wales and Scotland, followed by a Grand Final when the top 3 in each category from each area take part.
There are five categories, with separate girls and boys competitions, that follow the IFSC (International Federation of Sport Climbing) system based on year of birth. The categories are called Youth A, B, C, D and E and are worked out on the year a young person is born.
In 2014 these were:
Youth A - those born in 1997 & 1998
Youth B – those born in 1999 & 2000
Youth C – those born in 2001 & 2002
Youth D – those born in 2003 & 2004
Youth E - those born in 2005 & 2006
Each event comprises 3 routes and 3 boulder problems for each category. In categories A, B and C routes are led. In categories D and E they are top-roped. To be eligible for the Grand Final it is necessary to take part in at least two regional rounds in the area that a climber lives. If a series is not organised in their region, climbers may enter the series in the region nearest to them.
More information can be found on the BMC website

The Intracoastal Waterway runs 3000 miles from Boston down to the Florida Keys and across the Gulf Coast into Brownsville, where Texas joins Mexico. This network of rivers, bays, sounds, bayous, and artificial canals provides safe passage for industrial barges and pleasure craft without the danger of the open ocean. At the bottom of Louisiana where the land bleeds into the Gulf of Mexico, the Waterway is a hard diagonal slash from New Orleans to the sea.
On a Sunday morning my father and I put his little skiff into the water, wondering if we could make it to the Gulf. The grind of the motor emptied my head of everything except speed and smeared color: the dull blue water, the rust of half-sunk boats and wrecked machinery, and so much tropical green that it felt obscene. We motored through water with dark mysterious names like Lake Salvator, Wreck Bay, Lost Lake, Sun Lagoon, and — sounding like a dangerous gauntlet — a squared-off lake called The Pen.
My father's first boat sank in The Pen. Sunken docks, busted gas lines, and shipwrecks live just below the surface of these waters, waiting to ruin your propeller or punch a hole in your boat's bottom. My dad's skiff hit a dock post with the throttle open full tilt, flinging him from the boat and gashing his leg. He floated in the water for two hours, watching the sun set until the Coast Guard airlifted him to the roof of a hospital. Now he sits next to me in his second skiff, deeply tanned and wearing his fishing hat and grinning, looking the happiest I've seen since my mom died three years ago. He moved from Detroit to New Orleans this year and it's wonderful to see him on the water again. He's one of those men that belongs in a boat, happily crawling around, throwing ropes and tightening lines and nevermind the pitching and rolling of the waves.
We cruise past defunct refineries and fishing towns with names like Lafitte and Barataria. Keep going and soon there are little villages without names down below where Route 45 ends. No roads can get down here because it's all bayou and marsh. Ribbons of water create streets along the docks and porches of beat-up cottages and cozy shacks with manicured lawns. In a clearing, white gravestones run down to the river's edge. Handwritten signs say "Slow Down! No Wake." An old man puttering on his porch yells at me to slow down although I've got the Suzuki at five miles per hour and it's nearly shuddering to a stall. A group of sunburnt men on a dock inspect each other's fishing gear. Some give a friendly wave, others flash superstitious looks.
Louisiana loses a football field of land every 38 minutes and, showcasing one of the most demented arrangements in American politics, we have a governor who not only denies climate change but compels our schools to teach Christian nonsense rather than science.
The gothic trees give way to low grass and soon the water breaks into a sharp chop and the boat slams down hard again and again and I begin worrying about my spine. A spray of saltwater fills my mouth, knocks off my sunglasses, and the boat pitches hard starboard. While I wrestle with the wheel and curse, my father just grins all zen-like with his laminated map in his lap. We pass a fat seagull on a green buoy and then there's nothing but wide open sea. This is the Gulf of Mexico and a storm is churning out there.
As Friday night began to roll, he recalled Heraclitus's warning about 'night walkers, magicians, priests of Bacchus, and mystery-mongers.'
New Orleans is home to jazz and government neglect and other American traditions.
"A tantalizing 21st Century cross between Let Us Now Praise Famous Men and On the Road, this remarkable and utterly original memoir heralds the arrival of a new and important American voice. The Road to Somewhere will take you places you will not easily forget."
A man believed his only chance at justice was to take a hostage and march him downtown. An idealistic dancer packed the theater yet the city cast her out. A search for their ghosts continues beneath the city.
You've seen her before. She's the old woman with her eyes closed on the bus, the one who sits alone on a bench for hours. At night she listens to the exhausted air conditioners that sound like the sea, tuning in to the city's static like an old radio show.
The Former Desk of the First Office of the Bureau of Manufactured History was unveiled at a ceremony on the third of May and continues to appear in unexpected locations throughout Indianapolis.

I took almost a full year off to become a better person. I realize that's a pretentious sentence. But you see, previously a lot of the music I made was fueled by anger, revenge, heartbreak and of course the egotistical streak of anyone who is brave enough to venture on stage and proceed to rip your chest open until the crowd can see the palpitations of your heart beat. I'd spent most of my life writing a large cannon of spiteful male odes to heartbreak, and just kept getting myself into situations that only provided ample ammunition to that cannon. The rest of the time from essentially middle school to my early twenties, I made my name as a battle rapper, choosing random monikers and hopping on stage to spew more of my teenage angst that trickled into my adulthood. I'm not saying that period was this dark phase full of self pity, war, and reckless abandon, but rap wasn't exactly the easiest form of art to promote and advertise yourself. So without getting into the nitty gritty, dropping names, or really exploiting some of the events for the sake of internet hits, that's what happened. Anyone who knows me, knows that in all things, especially art, I'm constantly on my grind. I always maintain a decent sized fire with several irons heating up in it, in the hopes that one of those irons will lead me to a moment of breakthrough monetary success, so I don't have to be in my mid-thirties trying to explain why I've never sought higher paying jobs, and have no real education. It's all a gamble. Sometimes it seems like I have a gambling problem. My greatest singular success to date is a song called "Ella Fitzgerald" which is a three part male ode to breakups. It's achieved some radio play from reputable college radio stations in the Pacific Northwest, and features Chad Fox of Keaton Collective, The Variations, and Chrome Lakes fame. While this is something I can brag about in the food service industry as I was dishes and prepare food for for the upperclass, it's not exactly something I can write home about. Taking that year off gave me some time to not be on my grind. To really write and write and write, then trash most of it. Time to remember that it isn't polite to always say the most snide thing one can say in any situation. Time to realize that thinking everyone is judging you constantly is actually the biggest act of judgement of all. Time to go to town with my family's cow and return only with three magic beans. These magic beans grew up in a cloud, in that cloud I killed a giant with an icicle from Michigan, then I stole some type of poultry that shitted out gold, and a women, and climbed back down the beanstalk holding both of them with my godlike muscles, and that is how Urban Fantasy was formed. Long story short, it was a good year off. I met Jacob at Skylarks, where we formed a friendship under the eye of security cameras that kept that good old stench of mistrust between employer and employee thick in the air. I kept my head down while there, and tried to not hate my life, and find nice moments and the bright side in everything. I think in a way I treated my desperation and lack of speaking to be positive, as some type of penance. In the metaphor, Jacob would turn out to be the gold-shitting poultry. In my old house I would lock myself up in my room and start making beats out of weird indie songs. I've never really been into the whole 'basic chord structure strummed down while a man sings in a tenor range about cancer and alcoholism' thing in music, but they always make quality samples. I sent all those beats to Jacob, who is a synth player, and bam, we started working on songs. My girlfriend Dani, who is a stellar vocalist, spent a lot of time at the time sitting on my bed watching The Walking Dead, and somewhere in there Jacob heard her sing some words, and bam we ended up putting Dani in the band. Jacob took over all the instrumentation and then I was able to focus on lyrics. I started getting back on the grind after we recorded a demo, which we did post on the world wide web and got a surprising amount of attention from it. I started booking shows. I have the booking shows process on lock down. After years and years of booking shows, I know what is and isn't working. I know what to write, what to say. Who to try to get to play with us etc. However launching a new project with a stained reputation is more like starting at -10 as opposed to square 1. However I pushed on and like the anti hero I am, I succeeded. First Four Shows. Lets skip the detail. Went good. Just built up. By our second show, when we started playing, there were already more people than any new band should really expect at all, and after that, we added on some more at the next shows. Our friends really supported us, in every way. We got the gratification one gets from people quoting your lyrics, and having songs stuck in their heads. I didn't have to beg, bribe, or black mail anyone into liking us. It's been good. Lucky, really. Barboza? We are moving on to a new era now, working with multiple producers, with me and Danielle holding it down. You can expect several music videos from us this year, all of which we will be sharing super hard on the usual networking sites, as well as a EP/LP depending on how many songs we decided to keep after studio vocals which are slated for early February. I am straight up stoked for the opportunities we have coming our way, I'm excited about the collaboration we are hoping to do with some visual artist and videographers. The possibility of working with professional promoters and publicist. I feel like I finally found the right dress to wear to the prom and it's making all the heads turn. Go on and look fellas, shit...take a picture, my dance card is filling up.

Jamie Kennedy says Gary Coleman was more than just a sitcom star: He inspired the comedian to get into showbiz – and also taught him to never take anything for granted.
While working on the 1999 film Bowfinger at the beginning of his career, Kennedy recalls meeting Coleman, whom he describes as a "pop icon," in one of the most unexpected places in Hollywood.
"We were filming in downtown Los Angeles and I pulled up to the [set] and looked over and saw this security guard. It was a little guy," Kennedy, 40, tells PEOPLE.

Those of us who have been around the block a few times will remember the last time gasoline hit $4 per gallon a new industry sprang up.
Drivers could buy magnets to attach to fuel lines to allegedly boost a car's gas mileage by 20 or even 30 percent.
The devices didn't work, but the brisk market for them reflected the pain we were feeling at the pump.
The Rock Doc confidently predicts the current spike in gas prices will lead to yet another round of activity by the charlatans we saw last time.
The only way to take a good chunk out of a household gasoline budget is the straight and narrow road of combining trips to minimize miles driven and cold starts, sharing rides, driving a vehicle with a small engine, taking public transportation and hoofing it whenever you can.
It's not easy, but as a friend of mine likes to say, it's not a requirement that we like it.
Buyers also need to beware of quite a different class of energy-savings products. They purport to save homeowners hard-earned dollars on their monthly electric bills.
Recently I got a free steak dinner from two out-of-town sales men selling the device.

At both the original Culver City studio and the brand new Hawthorne location, instructors dish out compliments as they guide women through choreographed fitness routines, empowering dancers to overcome inhibitions and let loose along the way. During the Pole Diva and Sensual Movement classes, instructors also encourage camaraderie, occasionally breaking participants into groups and have them perform for one another. Though it may seem intimidating, this opportunity to show off in front of a nurturing audience provides students with the opportunity to build self-esteem. In addition to boosting mental fortitude, the studio's sensual fitness routines also build physical strength; pole-dancing classes sculpt arms and cores, and chair-dancing classes firm up glutes, quads, and newly emerged dorsal fins. Classes unfold in the studios or on location, but the fun doesn't necessarily end once the imaginary bell rings; groups of gals can even reserve the spaces for private dance parties.11409 Jefferson Blvd.Culver City, CA US
Your Neighborhood StudioRead MoreEnhance your flexibility with a structured yoga class from Your Neighborhood Studio in Culver City. When you're out and about in the area, you'll love that this studio has a restaurant to take care of any last minute hunger. Shower, anyone?

Need to change ip ipdress in client
Pinging XXXXXXX [11111111] with Here we are getting different name with ip adress
C:\Documents and Settings\knarra>ping -a 222222 here am trying to ping with original ip adress getting same name
Comments 2 Comments • Jump to latest comment
so you have name resolution Problem
1) confirm the what is the correct IP of the server by checking on the client network interface
2) are you using DNS or hosts file for name resolutions?
if DNS,
make sure DNS is resolving the correct name and IP, if not update the DNS entires.. ( DNS admin/OS admin task)
nslookup <clientname>
nslookup <client IP>
make sure both are giving the correct names..
if you are etc/hosts
update the etc/hosts file with correct IP address and client name
then test the ping communication.
if it looks fine
do bpclntcmd -clear_host_cache and then try for backup.
When ping gives you incorrect IP address, you need to check OS-level config.
You first of all need to determine if hostname lookup on NBU master and media servers is via hosts files or DNS.
If hosts files, you need to update it in all hosts files where this client is specified (master and media server(s).
If DNS, you need to check that DNS is indeed updated and that DNS cache has been flushed. Use nslookup to test forward and reverse lookup.
Once all of the above has been checked and confirmed, you need to flush NBU host cache with:
bpclntcmd -clear_host_cache
on master and all media servers.
When and how to clear the NetBackup host cache
PS: In future, please tell us what OS on the NBU master.
I doubt that it is Windows 7....
Is this issue related to yesterday's post?
Please provide feedback to that post as well?

The current solution that I have to adopt uses JDBC and stores the user/password of the database inside the android app. That's as far as I'm concerned not a good solution. I would like to implement a mapping layer on the webserver in the middle.
Is there any best practice or recommended strategy for this? Should I use SOAP or JSON or something completely different (because they're well implemented and/or easy to use in Java)? Are there any mapping tools for postgresql <-> SOAP/JSON/whatever in PHP or will I need to write these scripts by myself?
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Capriotti's Sandwich Shop-San DiegoRead MoreWhen Lois Margolet first opened Capriotti's Sandwich Shop in Wilmington, Delaware, 36 years ago, she and her brother, Alan, worked from the second story of a boarded-up building, roasting 10–12 whole turkeys every night and churning out a "real turkey lover's" sandwich each day. Today, Capriotti's has expanded across 14 states, each location stacking the same award-winning hot and cold sandwiches, racking up such accolades as The Best of Las Vegas 2013 and Best of Delaware 2013 prizes from the Las Vegas Review-Journal and Delaware Today, respectively, as well as being named one of "10 great places to bite into a surprising sandwich" by USA Today. Though the shop is still known for its slow-roasted-turkey creations—such as the Thanksgiving-inspired Bobbie, voted greatest sandwich in America by AOL's Lemondrop.com, piled with cranberry sauce and stuffing—its menu now ventures into the realm of roast beef, italian deli meats with such sandwiches as the capastrami, cheesesteaks, and vegetarian treats, such as meatless chicken and turkey.4021 Preston Rd, Ste 616Plano, TX US

Jonathan Shapiro | December 16, 2010 | Comments
With integration being an important aspect of any profitable campaign, how do we concisely categorize social media, group buying, mobile, and local advertising?
The first step in developing a successful new media marketing strategy comprised of social media, group buying, mobile, and local is to know what you are talking about. This does not mean becoming an expert in all four areas, but rather getting clarity on what specifically your organization will do with these tools to achieve your marketing goals. This may sound simple, but given the pace of change in the digital landscape this is a significant, crucial exercise.
Social media (Facebook and Twitter), group buying (Groupon), mobile (AdMob), and local (Foursquare) are all emerging digital tools in the marketer's arsenal. But with integration being an important aspect of any profitable campaign, it can be difficult to concisely categorize this promising "fab four."
Here are some examples:
From these examples, it's clear just how blurry the definitions of social, group buying, mobile, and local advertising can be. Given the multiple overlapping evolutions taking place, understanding what you are trying to accomplish and how the specific marketing tool you choose will help you reach these goals is essential for success.
Given the sheer volume of change taking place, a strategy that begins with the biggest opportunity seems smart. According to Forrester Research estimates, social media marketing will be the largest of the emerging media types, reaching more than $3 billion by 2014. So it stands to reason that social is a sound jumping-off point.
In addition to its market estimates, Forrester has also done a good job segmenting the different types of social media into three distinct types: owned, paid, and earned. Knowing what you are talking about with social media means understanding the differences between these three.
Emerging digital media types represent huge opportunities for advertisers, but they are in the early stages. What we all mean by social, group buying, mobile, and local is still getting worked out. Despite the loose definitions, there is good reason for excitement. They are proven to drive highly profitable marketing programs. If you are excited to get started with these advancing digital tools, begin by picking the biggest opportunity - social media - then break down the specific techniques you might deploy.
Knowing what you are talking about, what you want to say, and how you want to say it before you start the conversation will avoid the emerging media tower of Babel. In the end, the fab four's ability to drive revenue and deliver results makes social, group buying, mobile, and local all worth talking about.
Jonathan was CEO at MediaWhiz until July 2011. He was responsible for guiding strategy and operational execution, including overseeing the integration of the company's suite of marketing services, leading the development of new and unique capabilities, and ensuring the organization delivered better results for its performance marketing clients.
Before joining MediaWhiz, Jonathan was president of Lillian Vernon Corp., where he was responsible for the management of the company and its subsidiaries. Lillian Vernon was sold to a group of investors in July 2006.
Previously, Jonathan was the chief strategy officer of DoubleClick, where he was in charge of setting strategy and overseeing M&A. He began his tenure at DoubleClick as vice president responsible for the company's Internet Advertising Network before being appointed senior vice president of the company's Abacus online division, where he created DoubleClick's data strategy and oversaw development of new online targeting products and services.
Additionally, Jonathan was the executive responsible for developing United Media's original Web businesses (The Dilbert Zone, Snoopy.com, and Comics.com), and was a senior consultant with McKinsey & Co.

The investigators found that kids' smoking behavior is significantly affected by the habits of their peers and their parents in both middle school and high school. The influence of friends, however, is stronger in middle school. Although parents' influence started to decrease in the final two years of high school, it did not change between middle school and high school.
Among students in grades 9 and 10, girls were more affected by their friends' smoking behavior than boys, the researchers noted. As they advanced to 10th and 12th grades, however, friends and parents had less influence on girls. Meanwhile, boys at this age were increasingly swayed by their friends' smoking habits.
"Boys tend to foster friendship by engaging in shared behaviors, whereas girls are more focused on emotional sharing," Liao explained. "So, it is possible that boys are adopting their friends' risky behaviors, like smoking, as the groups grow together over time."
The study authors concluded their findings could aid in the development of teen anti-smoking programs.
"We observed a big dip in friends' effect on smoking behavior from eighth to ninth grade. Thus, the first year of high school represents an opportunity for interventions to counteract peer influence and to continue to target parents as their behavior remains influential through the end of high school," Liao said in the news release. "In addition, teaching students refusal skills during junior high school could be effective in decreasing cigarette use at the beginning of high school. Programs could also promote positive parenting skills to protect children from deviant peer influence."
The researchers noted that more research is needed to explor

Watchdog Group Sues DOJ for Refusing to Release Congressman Jerry Lewis Investigation Records
Six months ago, the U.S. Department of Justice wrapped up an investigation into Congressman Jerry Lewis, a 17-term Republican from Redlands, for improperly handling earmarks and government contracts.
The DOJ decided not to prosecute and everyone involved moved on.
However, the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, wasn't so sure and wanted to review the inquiry, demanding all of the records related to the DOJ's investigation.
So far, however, the group has been denied access to the records, so the D.C.-based organization is taking its fight to federal court, suing the DOJ to gain insight into what happened with Lewis.
According to the group's lawsuit, the DOJ was investigating:
... allegations that Rep. Lewis improperly steered millions of dollars in earmarks for clients of lobbying firms managed by former Rep. Bill Lowery (R-CA), many of whom made substantial contributions to Rep. Lewis's campaign committee and his political action committee. DOJ also investigated allegations that Rep. Lewis improperly helped secure government contracts for donors.
Lowery, according to Courthouse News Service, which first reported the lawsuit, left Congress in 1990 and "went into lobbying, where he has specialized in adding earmarks to bills."
In December, the DOJ told Lewis it would not prosecute. A month later, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington utilized the Freedom of Information Act, requesting all materials not covered by grand jury secrecy laws that related to the investigation.
The watchdog group claims that the government located responsive documents yet denied the group's requests to view them. The group has since appealed and says it has not received a final ruling yet.
The lack of response, the group argues, means that the DOJ has "wrongfully withheld agency records" by failing to comply with the statutory time limit for making a decision on the appeal.
The watchdog group is asking the court to release the records at once.
